{quote} As far as I remember you triggered both orders, the result is positive but arguably dangerous. You went into loss with one order, but thanks to SL moved into profit with another, but what if slippage/whiplashes/smaller movement happen? Also it is hard for me to trade NFP as my broker's spread goes really crazy (20+ pip)
It triggered both order with PointsAway = 100

Next time i'll do 200 points so i won't be touched 2 times

Small movements never happen with NFP that's why i only trade this news

I am glad you had a good trade on XAUUSD the past Friday, the 2nd and maybe also another one, the previous NFP. But I want to say that it is only an image: can you, please, publish a verified statement on Myfxbook or Fxblue.com?

Only in this case we can check if you had other losing trades: it's simple to show the winning ones, hiding the loosing ones....

Waiting for your answer, it's my pleasure to send you my

I only use AmazingEA for NFP so obviously i just made 2 winning trades.

August NFP : 633 points
September NFP : 1467 - 316 = 1151 points

So 1784 points with those 2 trades

Again, I am glad with you: but, please, give us, here, the evidence. You should publish your trading account with Myfxbook or Fxblue (choose the one you prefer): only through this kind of service your words will have an evidence. On the contrary, if you won't publish it, your words will be lost in a breeze.

Best regards.

Dear radking,

I did not say you are lying, please don't misrepresent my words; I wrote "if you won't publish it, your words will be lost in a breeze", quite different than a lie. The meaning is that any word (not only yours) without an evidence is a nonsense, especially in Forex (in Italy awe use to say "fried air").

Your screen shots are a part of a larger picture, but without the whole scenario even the partial reality can be interpreted in a contrary way, badly interpreted. You are a trader and surely know that a verified statement is the only way to demonstrate strategies and results.

Best regards.

Just to prove nothing is perfect with News trading I have posted a screen shot of a DEMO ONLY as I am still configuring EA. As proven by Wizardaram you go live when you feel confident the EA is set up how you want it and not before, otherwise you do risk capital. Picture shows that the EA has lost this month so far.

I am hoping we are all here to help each other hence we share the experiences we are having with the EA!!

Cheers

Greg

Dear crootster,

thank you for your contribution. But I like to be honest and impartial: your graph is not enough (even if matching my theory it's a loosing trading system): you have to post only verified MT4 trading accounts using Myfxbook.com and/or Fxblue.com: any other way is fake or can be fake so totally insufficient.

Again, please post something like this (click here for one of my public accounts).

Best regards.

Achab,
I am not here you please you , I am here as a person that uses Amazing EA bud, if you want to bitch and moan about what we put up and you believe them as fake then LEAVE champ, you are not forced to stay here. I am only showing what is happening with my demo account so people can see what happens, GOOD and BAD, this is a NEWS EA and is a work in progress.

No one likes people who bitch and moan about things yet do not try for themselves.

I believe there is an opportunity from the developer to try this on a demo so I suggest you try it and see for yourself or DON'T UP TO YOU Champ, but I will not be responding to bitching and moaning by you and accusing me of fake results!!

Farewell.

hey crootster

Are you testing all high impact events on FF? cuold you adjust the EA to only trade forex peace armies news trading events - ones with the bells on below - as these seem to be better high impact events to trade. FF's high impact are often no shows but feel free to diasgree

I am not forced, I like to stay here and I am free to tell my point of view.

Yes, right: his opportunity to earn money selling this EA.

Never done! I never accused you to publish fake results. I copy myself: "any other way is fake or can be fake so totally insufficient". So, it can be fake but you decide to choose the first part ("any other way is fake"): is this the reason about your strong reaction? Did I guess?

People here has not so much experience like others, it's easy to find newbies that believe it's easy to have high income just buying a robot. It's not true: the way to gain money is long, hard and uphill. I'd like if someone can understand deeply the complexity of Forex, reading some of my lines. Not everybody knows that the difference between a demo and a real account is huge: if a demo gains, a real account can loose (with the same, identical EA and settings).
This should be clearly written in capital letters from any EA vendor.

If a demo gains, a real account can loose (with the same, identical EA and settings).

Best regards.

Hey Bulltrader,

Yes I am currently trading all HIGH IMPACT news to see its affects except for speeches and sentiment and things that are not actually raw numbers data!!

Yeah the same news that is in Peace Army is the same as FF, only difference EA only reads from FF.

Yes it has been designed to allow you to trade whatever you like so if that is the only news you specifically want to trade then it is a matter of changing settings in the spreadsheet of the platform and then reopen/refresh the platform.

I only have all news at this stage as I am figuring out what works and what doesn't, also from a pair perspective as well.



Eventually I will be a bit like Radking where I will only set the EA to trade specific news but due to the fact some news happens a few months apart I think 3 - 6 months of testing make sense.

When I go LIVE i will have done my due diligence on the system and set it up hopefully the best I can.

Fact is NEWS trading is risky by its own nature.

ACHAB is right in one sense DEMO testing is no substitute for LIVE but if we are silly enough to go in LIVE without testing the waters on a demo (which I believe someone here did) and get an idea of how the EA works, how to set it up and how it performs in certain situations then we are fools to ourselves.

I do not put my stats here to prove anything to anyone or deceive, I put them here to let others know that are using this how it is doing.

I always state it is on a demo as I am in testing and settings phase, I am also seeing anomalies in reversals on news and seeing if I can combat that as well.

All the best in your trading mate

Greg

Does anyone know what happens when orders get triggered while being modified by the EA? When big movement happens before the release time, is it forcedly closed by the EA?
Say SecBMO=0, ModifyGap=10, PointsAway=20, and then price change is bigger than 20, will the EA close my triggered order or keep it open?

The EA will keep it open. Of course Pointsaway=20 is far too low. That's only 2 pips. You are almost definite to get triggered early. Also, ModfiyGap=10 means that price must move more than 10 points before the EA will attempt to modify. So in theory with Pointsaway=20, price could move 9 points and not be modifed and then 12 points and trigger the trade.

Plus the broker could push the spread up by 2 pips and trigger it (maybe in the wrong direction)

Nobody here does it but it's a real eye-opener to look at the CSV file after a big news event and see how much price jumps around.

The only way a trade is closed early is if you put MaxSlippage and the Slippage exceeds the MaxSlippage setting.

...we are silly enough to go in LIVE without testing the waters on a demo (which I believe someone here did)...
I really hope I helped someone with my warnings.

Anyway, the best way for a serious testing is trading REAL with 0.01 lots (or trading a nano account): probably who invests a hundred dollars in buying a robot can invest in trading 0.01 lots for a while; this can give you an idea about the scenario you are going to face, demo accounts don't.

Hi there

Quick answers:-
1) No I don't offer the source code.
2) Backtest is possible but I personally haven't managed it
3) I'm sorry but I don't quite understand your last question - the EA reads an XML file so in theory yes as long as the other source has an XML page.
